Description Stefan Lay CLA 2010-07-21 04:38:45 EDT 
Currently it is only possible to create a new branch on an existing one or a tag. 

I have e.g. checked out FETCH_HEAD on command line and want to create a new branch there. This is not possible in EGit

This could be done in the history view.
Comment 2 Stefan Lay CLA 2010-07-21 04:49:03 EDT 
There is a workaround: 
- Create a tag on the commit
- Create a branch on the tag
